A good friend of mine's son is a young computer whizz and has sold me his old computer (which is very good, and works fine).

He totally cleaned it up and reinstalled 'a' copy of Windows7. He also took my old computer off me and took some time making it look like mine and transferring all my desktop stuff, as well as all my Pictures, Documents and Outlook folders/emails etc. I basically ended up with a much better computer that looked and acted like my old one :thumbs:

I didn't want a 'hooky' copy of Windows (and he advised me not to anyway) so I actually spent £70 and bought a copy of Windows7 off ebuyer. When it came through the post, I used the product key to register the Windows7 that he'd already installed. It went perfectly smoothly and the computer is still working fine. It's now been about a month.

However...when I open up Outlook now to check my email, a little box pops up telling me I must register my copy of Outlook (the rest of Windows7 still seems fine). I have tried to change the product key to the product key of the Windows I bought, but it won't have it. I now have 3 days before (I should imagine) my Outlook stops working.

So, why did it work with the rest of Windows7, but not the Outlook? And how can I sort this?

The lad has gone away to scratch his head but in the meantime...HELP! :lol:

Hello Folks,
I am thinking of buying a new PC, as my current one is 7 years old, is a basic Pentium R, and struggles with certain tasks such as using google earth. I am also unable to watch 4K HD videos as they run very slowly, and even 1080p at 60FPS isn't very smooth.
At the moment I am...

That was an Anchorman reference, not an Avengers one, in case you're bothered.
People may remember that when I got my Sonos set-up I resisted the temptation to get Spotify, instead just using my own store of music.
But I got a free 6 months Spotify membership recently, and seemed a shame not...

This is purely speculation, but I believe there is merit in my analysis. It stems from the figures obtained wrt Lambda readings. I do not want to have to spend a lot of money, re- calibrating my AFR by way of expensive software modifications.
So I have been investigating wide - band Lambda...

Our venerable old Panasonic Plasma TV (TX-P42G10B) has just started with a noisy fan when I turned it on this evening.
It's only a low noise, but is going to be annoying.
Repairable do you think? Or time for a replacement? Funny, when I was a kid, the TV repairman seemed to be at our house...

As mentioned elsewhere my current mobile is possibly due for retirement, so it's time to consider it's replacement. I'm currently on a sim only 30 day contract with Meteor & I've no intention of signing up to a different provider so I'll probably be buying the phone outright.
At the moment I...
